45' + 2' GOAL!!! UNITED ARE LEVEL! One mistake from City, and Rashford - who announced himself on the world stage with a superb derby goal in 2016 - makes sure to punish them. Delph failed to clear on the edge of City’s area, and United’s young striker took full advantage as he kept his cool to slot in past the advancing Ederson.
David Silva’s goal from close range had given City a deserved lead, but the visitors’ defensive frailties were exposed again moments later when Delph’s error allowed Rashford to restore parity.
Well, after a relatively low-key first half, this derby has just sparked into life, and it is 1-1 at the interval after two goals in the space of four minutes!
Only Lukaku (17) has been involved in more goals in all comps for Man Utd this season than Rashford (15). There were just 266 seconds between CIty’s opener and the England man’s well-taken equaliser.
Five of David Silva’s six Premier League goal involvements against Man Utd have come at Old Trafford (three goals, two assists), and overall his goal was nothing less than City’s dominance warranted. But, despite offering little going forward throughout that half, United are back on level terms.
